Yes, George, it is customary for a
bridegroom to present q wedding
ring to his bride. The costliness Of
it should depend somewhat upon the
~pecuniary ability of the giver, and
its style should be determined by his
own taste and judgment. A plair
gold ring is always in good taste.
The wedding ring is worn on the
third finger (that is, the one next the
little inger) of the left hand.

The excursionists to Southwest
Pass. who it was supposed at one
time were lost, returned last Thurs
day afternoon, looking somewhat
faded and WORKOUT for the want Of
sleep. The detention was caused by
the steamer striking an oyster reef,
and was compelled to await a food
tide to extricate it, otherwise the
trip would have been, barring the
mosquitoes, pleasant and agreeable.
This slight accident, however, will
not affect any other arrangements for
excursions to Southwest Pass.
Our readers will bear in mind
that our French friend, Mons. Jean
boyance, is not only a frst-class
baker and confectioner, but also
something of an horticulturist, the
truth Of which can be verified by
an inspection Of his orchard and
garden. This week he showed US a
specimen of some Of his plants in
the shape Of grenaies, the plants
coming from New Orleaus; pears.
red and white grapes. plants from
Bordeaux. France; catawba grapes.
plants from Nashville, Tennessee.
he has also the black walnut and
other native trees growing on his
place. Mr.. Boyanc6 made an ex,
i'oit'on of these fruits merely to
Prove what our soil will produce
With but little care and attention.
Ills orchard and garden are cult
'a'ed BY himself at spare times from

We love the man or woman who
is honest and true in little things.
We always believe they will be the
same in large ones. Honor is man
ifested in the smallest act as truly as
in the greatest. The theft of a post
age stamp shows the thief as plainly
as the theft Of a twenty dollar bill;
and he who breaks faith with a child
to whom he has promised a stick Of
candy, would also break faith with
men in more important matters.

A Queer Lawsuit.
lMadisonyille Times.

lMadlsonYllle Times.
A somewhat unique and amusing
lawsuit was tried here before Judge
Sisk, a few days since. Ed. Allender
sued neighbor, j. ii. Dame, for
harboring his son, minor, against
his orders. 1t came out on trial that
the boy left home, as he claimed, be-
cause his father threatened to whip
him. The boy went to his brother
IN laws, and his father notified his
brother-in-law not to keep him. The
boy then went to the residence of
Dame, where he stayed sometime.
Allender went over to Danes to no.
tify him, and there got into wordy
alteration with Danes boys, Dame,
ST.. being absent. Allender then
swore out a warrant against Dame,
for OBTAINING and harboring minor.
During the tendency of these pro-
ceedings Allender's boy and Danes
daughter ran or to Tennessee and
got married. The warrants were
served ON Dame and two boys, and
the case set for Tuesday of fast week
Dame failed to appear, and the case
was laid over until the latter part OF
last week, when it was tried. After
hearing the testimony, Judge Sisl;
decided that young Allender was
guilty of matrimony and had TO live
with, protect, cherish, defend, etc,
Danes daughter; that Allendel, Sr.,
had lost his boys services forever.
and that Dame, ST., should pay the
costs OF the suit for his failure to OBJ
serve The summons served on him,
and thus ended one of the most novel
and entertaining lawsuits that has
ever been tried in this county.

The Intor. State Commerce Bill.

The fourth section of the Cullom-
Reagan bill for the regulation of In
ler-Staie Commerce, has brought out
vehement protests from the board Of
trade Of many of the interior cities.
The Objectionable section is as fol-
lows:
''ihat Ii shall be unlawful for any
common carrier subject to the pro-
visions Of this act TO charge or receive
any greater compensation In the ag-
gregate for the transportation of pas
sengers, or of like kind of property,
under substantially similar circum-
stances and conditions, for shorter
than for longer distance over the
same line, in the same direction, the
shorter being included within the
longer distance hut this shall not he
constructed as authorizing any com
mon carrier within tho terms of this
act to charge and receive as great
compensation for q shorter us for a
longer distance"
The sum and substance of this is
simply that railroads and steamboats,
are forced to have uniform rate per
mile for both long and short distances.
The interests OF the country are not
likely 10 be promoted by this inter-
ference of the government with indi-
vidual business action. The present
system of free competition is by far
the best for consumer, purchaser aud
all other parties concerned. The pro-
posed system cannot but work all in
justice to many interior cities, in that
the railroads will be compelled to adj
vance their local tariffs to make up
for the loss of revenue now derived
from through competitive business,
The bill would practically cut of
from foreign markets the grain and
other produce of the great West, for
every mile from the seacoast would
increase the freight rate and conse-
quently the price of the article, until
competition would be out of ques-
ton Railroads can now fix their
own through rates aud haul produce
800 miles free to get the through bus
mess for the balance of the way il
they choose so TO do. This law will
take from them the right to manage
their own business, which they have
invested their capital In and are OPP
Grating for the purpose of making
money. The through rates bear the
same relation to local rates that
wholesale transactions do to retail
business in mercantile matters. The
merchant may give his customers
the benefit of close prices in large
orders, but the railroad is to be de-
MED similar privilege. The loading
and unloading is the same for 5 as for
500 miles but this.is not TO be taken
into consideration. Railroads must
no longer govern their business by
the rules of Legitimate competition
and offer special Inducements to in
crease their business where 1t will
pay them to do so. bnt they must sell
to retail customers at Wholesale rates
or TO wholesale patrons at retail
prices. This is unjust to class of
business enterprises that we could not
do without and which we ought to
encourage rather than Cypress with
unfair and burdonsome legislation.

Prof j. ID. Pickett, the present

has the gall to offer for reelection in
the face of the fact that he is utterly
unfit for the Office he fills. lie is old,
deaf and incompetent and for eight
years has drawn salary that he did
almost nothing to earn. He was NOM
mated because he was IN the rebel
army and he SHOULD by all means be
retired this year. There are several
candidates out for the office, any one
of whom would be preferable to the
present incumbent. Kentucky needs
just such a Superintendent as Prof

make.
